Copper cladding contractors in London
Dr Master Craft supplies and installs copper cladding for London houses, extensions and commercial facades. Copper cladding gives a building a living surface — bright metal that darkens to brown, then slowly greens over decades — or, with pre-patinated Aurubis Nordic Green, the finished colour on day one. We fabricate and fit standing seam and flat-lock copper facades, dormer cladding and feature panels in Aurubis and KME copper, detailed as ventilated rainscreens with every reveal and corner in matching metal.

Copper cladding systems
Standing seam copper for vertical lines; flat-lock panels for a shingled contemporary surface; interlocking panels for soffits and reveals. All are fully supported hard-metal systems on ventilated build-ups — the craft is in the folds, and copper rewards proper coppersmith method like no other metal.
Copper cladding finishes: bright, brown, green
Mill-bright copper (patination begins immediately); pre-oxidised brown (Aurubis Nordic Brown) for an instantly mature look; pre-patinated green (Nordic Green / TECU Patina) where the design calls for the verdigris now. Samples on the actual elevation before sign-off — copper reads differently on every building.
Where copper cladding works best
Feature facades and entrance surrounds, dormer cheeks, mansard faces, and full elevations on prestige houses and commercial buildings. Copper pairs naturally with brick and stone in London's conservation areas, where planning officers often welcome it over synthetic panels.
Copper cladding cost
Copper is the premium cladding metal: the raw material trades at record levels and the working time is slower than zinc or steel. Our copper cladding cost guide publishes real UK per-m² ranges and explains what moves a quote; your fixed figure follows a measured survey.
What are the benefits of Copper Cladding
The Advantage: Why Copper?
Timeless Evolution: A copper roof is a "living" surface. It begins with a bright, fiery glow, deepens into rich bronze tones, and eventually develops the world-renowned green verdigris patina. This natural process creates a unique character that cannot be replicated.
Unmatched Durability: Copper is naturally corrosion-resistant and can easily withstand the harshest coastal winds and heaviest snowfalls. A properly installed copper roof by Dr. Mastercraft is a 100-year investment.
Zero Maintenance: Once the patina has formed, the copper essentially protects itself. It requires no painting, no cleaning, and no chemical treatments, saving you time and money over the decades.
Lightweight & Structural: Despite its strength, copper is incredibly lightweight, reducing the structural load on your building compared to tile or slate alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
How expensive is copper cladding in the UK?
— It is the most expensive mainstream cladding metal — typically above zinc and well above coated steel per m² installed. Our copper cladding cost guide publishes real ranges and the reasons behind them; a fixed quote follows survey.
Does copper cladding turn green?
— Yes — that is its nature and its protection. Bright copper browns within a few years and greens over 10–30 in UK air. If you want green immediately, specify pre-patinated copper; if you want copper that stays bright, copper is the wrong metal.
Is copper cladding suitable for houses?
— Very — dormers, bays, garden rooms and full facades on houses are among our most common copper jobs. It is light enough for timber structures and needs no repainting, ever.
Do you install Aurubis copper cladding?
— Yes — Aurubis (Nordic Brown, Nordic Green and standard) and KME TECU ranges are our standard copper cladding materials, installed to manufacturer detail so warranties stand.
